Alex uses fear and drama to increase sales making his motives suspect. He looks more and more like a Glenn Beck wannabe all the time. I have strong suspicions that he would not hesitate presenting a questionable story as long as it was entertaining.

That said I agree with much of what he says, but that seems to be the modus operandi of this of these type of characters. Take an idea that has some validity and some potential audience then dramatize it and sell it to as large an audience as possible.

Its not unlike the big networks pimping the Tiger Woods story. Except maybe worse because the message that is getting repackaged, distorted, and sold to us by Alex is way more important than anything Tiger Woods is doing...

As always IMHO.
